So we started demolition on parts of the house. I pullled the carpeting out of the big back room, all 400+ square feet of it (brick floor underneath), and we turned a window in an interior wall (former exterior wall) into a double doorway. Matt cleared all the rubble and I got the house clean again by 11:30 PM, since we homeschool in the room where we knocked out the window!

My parents remodeled our entire house while I grew up, and I knocked many a hole in drywall over the years. I'd forgotten how AWESOME it feels to demolish the things you hate about your house.

So F wets the bed. No biggie, he's almost 4. M keeps putting him in undies and saying "he just needs to pee before bed." Four nights in a row he wakes up in the morning, wet. He sleeps very soundly so he doesn't notice he needs to pee, and I just want M to acknowledge this and put him in a pull-up for bed, OR get the kid up at 1 AM for a pee break if he is so insistent on undies.

KMJ, that sounds like fun. And I loved the pics on FB. The built in storage in that room is to die for! As for F, yeah, I agree with you. Pull ups were invented for a reason. Just think of all the laundry you'd save!

I thought I was the only one who heard the phantom screams of my children. Good to know I'm not mental.

I have 300 square feet of carpet in the living room and hallway that I'm going to tear up someday when I can buy the laminate/bamboo/cork flooring with which to replace it. That will be such a joyous day. I am so glad the back had brick flooring underneath it or I'd have had to live with that carpet for a decade. Priorities.

We're back from our trip and I'm popping in to say hi and see how everybody's doing. It's been kind of quiet around here lately, huh?

Doularn - how are you?

Elmh - How's the pregnancy going?

asf - Do you know if that family that you helped round up clothes for is going to need any winter things? I think I have some pg stuff that is 3T that might fit the little girl. And there are some shoes in there too, not sure what sizes though, and a lightly lined windbreaker type jacket.

Well my guess is that the taste might have given him a clue, since he missed the printing. One less glass for me to drink ...LOL... so he's a little less FOS, that could be nice... Oh the jokes keep on coming. I think I am delirius from lack of FOOD !!!

Oh yeah this morning he said "When you mix up chemicals in the fridge be usre to let me know." I said "I labeled it" he said " Yeah well I thought it was for Liam's school. Of course I didnt mess with it but you should have let me know." Uh right, so labeling "PREP" the day before a colostomy is not ienough, I need to INFORM him of this too....
